Christian Restorff Mouritsen (born 3 December 1988) is a Faroese footballer who currently plays for 2. deild club FC Hoyvík as a forward or midfielder. Club career Mouritsen joined the Manchester City Academy in the 2005 and signed a 3-year contract. He had been on trial with Brøndby and Everton, also several other clubs in England and the Netherlands had offered him a trial, but in the end decided to sign with Manchester City. The Youth team reached the FA Youth Cup Final in the 2005/06 season, losing to Liverpool in the Final 3–2 on aggregate. Although making many appearances for the Manchester City Youth and Reserve teams, after 3 years at the club he was released in July 2008 after his contract expired. Shortly after his release prior to Manchester City's match against EB/Streymur, he was quoted as saying "I left City because they told me I wasn't good enough, so I've returned home to try something new". In August 2008 he rejoined HB Tórshavn, he only managed 20 minutes of playing time for HB before the 2008 season ended, because of injuries which kept him sidelined. He also has 2 brothers who were in the HB Tórshavn squad during the same period, younger brother Kristin and older brother Jóhan. His first match in 2009 was against B68 Toftir, Mouritsen came on as substitute, deep into the second half. He only went on to make 6 league appearances from the bench that season for HB, before he transferred to rival club B36 Tórshavn in the summer of 2009. Although his transfer from HB to B36 didn't go as smoothly as planned. Certain formalities weren't carried out before 28 July, when the transfer window had closed. HB pointed out to B36 that Mouritsen had been playing for them illegally, after which the appropriate documents were handed to FSF by B36. Later, it was revealed that the reason for the delay was an administrative mistake by B36. The Faroese Football Federation discussed the matter and decided that the transfer could not be accepted because the documents necessary had not been handed in on time. Though they reconsidered and on 21 August they gave Mouritsen permission to transfer to B36. Despite this, the second half of the 2009 season went a lot better for Mouritsen, scoring 2 goals in 9 starts for B36. After the season had ended, before Christmas in 2009
